Dave,

     I have been reading along and let me just state in my own words what I think you are looking for to see if I understand. 

     You would like to know how to configure some sort of endpoint that you will create (specialized firewall/NID ect.) and this device will have a DHCP client in it and you would like this device to be configured in such a way that its DHCP client adds in Option 82 information. This would allow the use of a DPoE "backend" in an EPON only environment.   

Tom
